"Commercial Applications for Carbon Nanotubes"
Matthew Howlett
Nanocyl S.A., U.S. Commercial Manager
(VIDEO CONFERENCED FROM NANOCYL OFFICE, ALPHARETTA, GA)
Abstract:
The global Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) has grown from a few kilograms of specialty grades 30 years ago to several hundreds of tons of commercial quality tubes today. The global growth of CNT's has been fueled by a broad acceptance of this technology in large end-use markets. The main markets for CNT"s include Automotive, Electronics, and Packaging. While CNT's are being commercialized in a number of matrixes including traditional thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. The presentation will focus on the current state of the CNT market and areas for near term commercialization (3-5 years).
